If you have stains you can use a white based tooth paste and a tooth brush to scrub spots
Please Do Not use cleansers with bleach
on White Ironstone
There is a glaze coating on White Ironstone that will be removed if you do
{see the shine on the pitcher above}
The shine from the glazed coating is very important it protects the ironstone
and is a beautiful part of your vintage treasure

The dishwasher strips the glaze off
